This is disgusting.
It would have been easier to just remove these restrictions for everyone.

Yep, also basically stole from the UK taxpayer by convincing Oxford University to not open source their publicly funded vaccine and instead sell the rights to AstraZenica.
All sorts of countries could have produced this vaccine themselves until Bill Gates got involved.
Gates was always a dirtbag.
He is one of the main reasons proprietary software is so prevalent and predatory nowadays.
No it’s the person who owns the source.
A pro-Israel American iirc.
For one, it bases it’s bias assessments on American politics. The UK is less right-wing than the US but when this bot comes along it calls a source which we might call centrist, “left”.
In a way, it’s like an attempt to shift the overton window for other countries closer to the US, and that’s not a good thing.
Of course, don’t expect this to be addressed by @Rooki@lemmy.world.
People offered plenty of constructive criticism in that thread:
The mod ignored it and only replied to positive feedback.
“Shut up SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!1!1!”
Lmao
Oh, not the “we fund you” narrative again. 🙄
The US military spent a lot in Europe, yet when Ukraine was first invaded this proved to be completely and utterly useless.
Hate-spewing riots?
Didn’t know just stop oil was doing that, last I checked they put cornstarch on Stonehenge which washed off a day later.
What, “coward”?
🙄
The mod team is absolutely aware of the criticisms - they’re censoring them.
I just got a comment deleted just for telling OP to engage with the criticism instead of hiding away with people who agree with them.
I wonder if they were former Reddit power mods?

In a before-first-unlock state they absolutely are bruteforcing, since the filesystem is encrypted. The exploits are for bypassing the retry limit in that case.
And the manufacturers don’t have your encryption keys. They’re unique.
Use a long password and you’ll be immune from their before first unlock brute force.
Passcodes are trivial to break.
Laws don’t make a democracy authoritarian either
How do you think former democracies turn, like the Weimar Republic turned into Nazi Germany?
It started with legislation.
Also, this country already has deeply authoritarian aspects, such as GCHQs immunity to the public and their tapping of the internet backbone and storage of the data with no accountability. If that’s not authoritarian, I don’t know what is.
Also, remember that NotMyKing protestors in London (ORGANISED PROTEST) were arrested en-masse for NO reason, only to be released when the event was over. But yeah, we’re “not authoritarian”.
They have just as much freedom to protest as everyone else has
Little and declining every day? What, are you only okay with it if they’re standing with signs in a corner where they can be conveniently ignored?
If they think they can break the law without punishment, they are simply wrong and stupid.
Oh yeah, I forgot, only lobbying fossil fuel companies get that privilege. Destroy the environment and become immune from repercussions. Score!
The law is being changed to slowly ban effective protest, does that mean it’s okay to crush protest? No! To say it is just because the laws were passed in a democracy (by either stupid or malicious politicians) doesn’t make it just, or any less authoritarian.
Also consider that the FPTP election system is deeply undemocratic to begin with, where a party with about 30% of votes can gain a majority despite the majority actually voting against them.
Another one for the graveyard!
Then being locked up for a year for being chained to said lamp post?
“They annoy me, so they should be locked up!”
Clown. People like you are why this country is barreling into authoritarianism. Even under Labour.
Should have the right to know what happening to their children. Schools shouldn’t be hiding anything from the parents.
I hate to break it to you, but if a child tells the school before they tell their own damn parents, there’s a reason for that.
